I ordered a couch on Facebook Marketplace from a suggested ad for $59.99 and was charged for that and a foreign ATM fee of $1.80 and was sent a pair of sunglasses instead. I have no way to contact the company and they have not contacted me since debiting my card until I got the sunglasses with a thank you for ordering from the company. I DID NOT order sunglasses and do not know how to pursue the company to get my money back.

Approached on Facebook Marketplace by Judith Burns for a product I was selling. Asked for my phone number. Was persistent about it. I wouldn’t give it and asked theirs and they wouldn’t respond. Obvious phishing scheme to get my phone number to target me and those I know.

From FB Marketplace. Someone said they wanted to buy what I was selling, and asked me via FB Messenger for the address to pick it up. They asked for my phone, and texted me a "verification number" and asked me to tell them what it is so they know I'm legit. I told them. THEN, Person #1 added Person #2 to the messenger convo. Looked up both of their profiles and they were both locked down tight ('fake' FB profile(s)). THEN they asked for family and friends numbers, and that's when I shut it down. Now they know my phone and my address. I'm pretty sure they don't know my name, because my FB acct is a pseudonym. How do I find out if they have done damage? I notified my bank and changed my FB password. What do I do now?

Subject: Re: Any more pics of the SUV please?

Hello! Thank you for your interest, I'm the owner of the 2007 Honda Cr-v Ex-l Sport Utility, 96.678 miles. This SUV is in great shape. It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, one owner, 2.4L V4 cylinder engine (great on gas), tires and wheels are in great shape as well, power windows locks, electric is working perfectly. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident... The title is in my name and is clear. I am selling it at this final price of $1.000 because my husband died 3 month ago (he had a heart attack) and it brings back bad memories. I decided to sell the house and so I moved to Fort Belvoir, VA trying to start a new life. That's the reason why I want to sell it asap and my last price is $1.000 including delivery to your home address. I want to use eBay services for the safety of both of us so if you’re interested in purchasing this SUV, I can notify eBay that you are selected as my possible buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.

If you are interested, please email me with your full name, shipping address and phone number. Best regards!</[email protected]></[email protected]>

Type of a scam Online Purchase

I made an online purchase with this company via thru Facebook market for a Duramax 10"x 30" garage/storage for $79.99 plus free shipping on Feb.9 2022. I never received a receipt for my purchase. I checked my bank transactions and yes they did take my money. The said they have sent and delivered the product to me and emailed me a fraudulent invoice. Then informed me to check with my Post Office only to find out the Post Office doesn't deliver packages over 75lbs. What they sent me was a black and white oven mitt instead. I emailed the business but received no response initially. Now, I still have no product and they have been giving me excuse after excuse after I requested a refund. I know for a fact they have broken several laws with several entities they have used to scam money from innocent people.

Type of a scam Counterfeit Product

I purchased a on a limited time offer through a facebook market place ad a multifunctional folding crafting cabinet (I ordered 2) Now I had a friend on line show they got theirs. (They lived closer to the location though so, I think this had more to do with why they got their item and I didn't)

Anyway, this item was 1/2 the normal price (CAD) and I was thrilled and decided I was going to get them BUT because I was also leary about the prices I decided to record everything. (cause, it was coming from China and I've heard of some of these store fronts being fake) Well it only took 3 weeks for this store to prove that they were indeed fake.

I got a small package 4"X6" in the mail and it was listed as a desert spoon set and not this 3'X5' long package X's 2 for a folding storage crafting cabinet. I contacted the credit card company to make my complaint and I contacted the business too. They removed my profile from their site. Then the whole site disappeared for 48 hours. (it's back in marketplace on facebook) they refused to give me back my money saying I had to pay $82 CAD to ship back the item they had shipped to me. I told the credit card company and they are doing the dispute for me. Thankfully I have insurance on purchases that are like this but I want to save people some trouble. Don't buy from anyone who is listed on a facebook market ad that's coming out of China. The probability of it being a scam is exponentially higher.

I'm not entirely sure what this scam is actually hoping to accomplish but it didn't take me long to discover that something strange is up. Over the last 3-4 months when I post something on Facebook Marketplace to sell, I will get a message that a person is interested and to text them at the number they list in the message. Before I realized what was happening, I had texted the first person that had contacted me like this and was trying to work out details for a sale. I am not sure if this included my home address for the pick up since it was several months ago. I've since moved. Since that time, I've had many people do the same thing but I block and report them to Fb Marketplace. Any time I am contacted about something I list, I tap the picture to go to their fb profile and if there is very very limited data or it's been created that day, I don't even respond but block them and report immediately.

I was selling shorts in Facebook marketplace and received an immediate response from someone saying she’s very interested and asking if we can we meet now. She then asked for my phone number. This is the 2nd time I had this happened to me. The first time it happened, the lady asked to send me a google verification code, which I never received to.

This was on FB Marketplace. They said they were interested in my item and they asked me to text them at 720-791-9361 and then said they would send a 6 digit code to make sure my post was real. They sent the code and I (like a fool) replied and sent them the code back. What is my recourse now?
